Gauze Swabs 75mm x 75mm x 8-Ply Sterile (5/pack)

Sterile Gauze Swabs 75mm x 75mm x 8-Ply offer the same high-quality 8-ply construction and sterile packaging as the standard 100x100mm format — in a more compact size suited to smaller wound sites, paediatric patients, fine clinical procedures, and anatomical areas where a full 10cm swab would be impractical. Supplied 5 per sterile pack, they support aseptic technique in a wide range of clinical environments including ENT clinics, dental surgeries, paediatric wards, and minor procedure rooms. The WHO Essential Medicines guidelines list gauze swabs as a fundamental clinical supply across all levels of healthcare.

The 75x75mm format is widely used in paediatric wound care, neonatal nursing, facial wound management, post-extraction dental care, and ENT procedures where a smaller, more precise swab provides better control and less unnecessary coverage. The 8-ply construction ensures sufficient absorbency for moderate exudate, while the folded-edge design minimises lint shedding onto sensitive tissue.

These swabs complement the broader range of sterile gauze sizes in our portfolio. In line with NICE wound care product guidance, choosing the correct swab size for the wound or procedure reduces waste, improves handling accuracy, and supports better patient experience.

FAQ

When are 75x75mm gauze swabs more appropriate than 100x100mm?

75x75mm gauze swabs are more appropriate than 100x100mm when treating smaller wound sites, paediatric patients, neonatal wounds, facial injuries, or procedures in confined anatomical areas such as ENT or dental applications. The smaller format provides better handling precision and avoids unnecessary coverage of surrounding healthy tissue.

Are 75x75mm gauze swabs suitable for dental procedures?

Yes. 75x75mm sterile gauze swabs are widely used in dental settings for post-extraction wound packing, haemostasis, and intraoral wound care. Their compact size makes them manageable within the oral cavity, and the sterile packaging supports aseptic technique in clinical dental procedures.

What makes 8-ply gauze swabs better than 4-ply?

8-ply gauze swabs contain twice the number of gauze layers compared to 4-ply, giving them significantly higher absorbency and better structural durability. They hold their shape when saturated and are less likely to break apart during wound cleaning or debridement — making them the preferred choice for clinical wound care.

Can these swabs be used for neonatal wound care?

Yes. The 75x75mm format is well-suited to neonatal wound care due to its compact size and gentle woven cotton gauze surface. Always ensure sterile swabs are used for direct wound contact in neonatal patients, and select the smallest appropriate size to avoid unnecessary mechanical trauma to delicate neonatal skin.
